I had a good sleep last night, I decided to sleep early and reschedule the meeting with the dormers since I was feeling dizzy, maybe because, again, it’s over fatigue. I can clearly remember that it was I think two days ago when I felt like my heart was being crushed by a mason, I couldn’t breathe but after a few minutes, my breathing was back to normal. Yes, am not healthy, I guess.

So many things happened since the last time I wrote on my blog. I became the prefect of the Xavier Ladies’ Dorm just last April, the same period when I was entertaining the thought of leaving Ateneo for good, to try to explore a different world outside the country. However, it did not materialize because of the dorm assignment. Fr. Tabora was looking for new prefects to manage the four dormitories and am not sure until now if it is a blessing or a burden to me but definitely, it is a very challenging task that I must take on.

The first time that I stepped on the stairs of the dormitory felt awkward. It was a mark of total surrender and not to mention, sacrifice. I have to take care of 27 souls, I have to be their guardian, I have to be their second mom or ate. Up until today, I cannot fathom whether I made the right decision or not. I knew right then, from the time I said yes to Fr. Tabora, that my life will change. However, I never felt any kind of regret. Even if it means that I have to spend less time with my family and significant other. I know that not everyone is given the chance to make a difference in somebody else’s life and I was one of the few. I will offer them what I have, be with them through their journey and try my best to manage them the way I know how.

All this for the greater glory of His kingdom.
